COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Speaker of the House Jon Husted, along with Ohio Senate President Bill Harris said they will craft a law that will put the attorney general's office under the microscope of the state inspector general.

The inspector general's office holds state workers accountable, but can only investigate the governor and state agencies. Husted and Harris said they plan to amend that power.

The AG's office has been in turmoil since Marc Dann admitted to an affair with a staffer, fired top aides involved in a sexual harassment scandal and has refused to resign, NBC 4's Mikaela Hunt reported.

Dann said on Friday that he wants to make his intentions as attorney general clear.

"I don't think there is any chance I would step down," he said. "I was elected by the people of the state. I have made mistakes. I've done several things that I'm very, very upset about and embarrassed about. I take responsibility for those things. I've apologized and now I'm going back to work to re-earn the trust of the people of the state."

The Ohio Democratic and Republican parties have both made their wishes known and the hope is that Dann would step down, avoiding an impeachment process. But as Dann is "rolling up his sleeves," the Republicans are putting pen to paper, outlining the impeachment process.

When asked if he thought he committed an impeachable offense, Dann said, "I don't think that's true. And so, again, that's up to the house and the senate to decide."

The Ohio Democratic Party could vote to pull their 2006 endorsement of him at Saturday's state convention.

Dann was in Cleveland on Friday, where he said he was working on a subprime lender case and security fraud.

"(I've) got a briefcase full and I'm going to continue to do that work," he said.

Dann said he realizes that he has a chore in front of him to regain the trust of the state's politicians and voters.

As for the request to resign, Dann made his point one last time: "(I intend to stay) until the end of my term."

Legislative leaders drafted a letter to the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, indicating their extreme concern that a BCI employee allegedly wiped clean a computer that may be related to some of the ongoing charges within the AG's office.

The letter asked that BCI&I explain if and why the data was destroyed and if other information pertaining to the investigation may have also been destroyed.

The computer belonged to a staffer who worked for Anthony Gutierrez, who is one of the top aides who was fired in connection with the sexual harassment investigation.
